Sarah Shook & The Disarmers are a country band with a sneer, a bite, and no apologies. Shook's original songs take on the usual country spin on sh**y relationships, bad decisions, and excessive alcohol consumption for damn good reasons.

"Sarah Shook and the Disarmers are the best thing to emerge from country music in the last ten years and Sidelong is the best album released, in any genre, so far this year." - LOUDER THAN WAR

"...a sneering fusion of punk-rock autonomy and say-it-like-it-is country from the classic era, paired with a timeless vocal warble and tons of attitude. Honest to an fault and as foul-mouthed as a drunken sailor, she's a nonconforming spitfire who's proud of not fitting in with mainstream country music." - ROLLING STONE

"Who knows what whims govern the exiled ghost of authentic country as it scans the fruited plain looking for souls to possess...BUT it found Sarah Shook in North Carolina, and her destiny was inescapable." - SAVING COUNTRY MUSIC

"she delivers her songs with the brass of someone who has lived the lines she sings. That’s not to mistake the singer for the song, but it’s a rare vocalist that sings with such conviction and hits so hard on the first impression. Sarah Shook and the Disarmers are a rare and wonderful thing, and Sidelong could be a promise of even better things to come.." - POPMATTERS
